Sourcegraph

What is Sourcegraph?

Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform designed to help developers search, understand, and manage large codebases efficiently. Founded in 2013 by Stanford graduates Quinn Slack and Beyang Liu, it addresses the challenges of navigating complex, multi-repository code environments across various programming languages. Its flagship products, Cody (an AI coding assistant) and Code Search, enable developers to write, fix, and explore code with context-aware insights. By integrating with popular code hosts like GitHub and GitLab, Sourcegraph streamlines workflows for enterprise teams and individual developers. The platform supports both cloud-based and self-hosted deployments, catering to organizations of all sizes. Its mission is to make coding accessible and efficient, empowering developers to focus on innovation rather than manual code navigation.

Sourcegraph's Core Features

• Code Search allows developers to search across all repositories, branches, and code hosts, enabling rapid code discovery.
• Cody, the AI coding assistant, generates, debugs, and explains code using contextual understanding of entire codebases.
• Code Intelligence provides navigation tools to jump to variable definitions, find references, and trace code history.
• Batch Changes enables automated, large-scale code refactoring and migrations across multiple repositories.
• Code Insights offers analytics and visualizations to track codebase health and project progress.
• Deep Search, an agentic search tool, enhances understanding of rapidly evolving codebases.
• Amp, an AI-powered coding tool, supports autonomous reasoning and complex task execution for developers.
• Integration with editors like VS Code and JetBrains brings code intelligence directly into development environments.
